Surillitos are a favorite dish in Puerto Rico and can be eaten alone or corned beef or fry eggs. I love them with eggs and coffee. Yummy! They are made from cornmeal and if you’d like you can add grated cheese in the middle.
Things You’ll Need
* 2 cups of water
* 1/2 tsp of salt
* 1 tsp of sugar
* grated cheese (optional)
* 1 1/2 cups of yellow cornmeal fine
* corn or vegetable oil for frying
Step 1
Bring water and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and add sugar and corn meal. It will thicken very quickly so make sure you are nearby.
Step 2
Remove from the stove and let it cool. Once it is cool enough to handle, take some of the mixture and shape into a ball and with your thumb press down a little and add the cheese then cigar shape it.
Step 3
Fry the corn sticks until they are golden brown on both sides and enjoy! Makes about 25 to 30 sticks.
Very easy and delicious!!!

Quick and Simple Fudge
1 24 oz package of chocolate chips (I love Hershey’s Dark Chocolate chips)
1 can condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Line a shallow bar pan (works the best, but a cake pan will work too), with wax paper and set aside.
Melt chips with condensed milk in microwave for 1 minute. Pull out and stir in vanilla. Microwave for 1 more minute and stir well.
Work quickly, as the chocolate cools quickly. Pour mixture onto pan and spread out evenly. Let sit on counter for 30-60 minutes, to cool. Place in frig for 1 hour. Pull out and cut into small pieces (if you keep it in the frig for longer, it’s harder to cut). Keep in frig.
Makes a lot :O)
Everyone thinks you spent a long time making this fudge and it takes only 5 minutes–it’s a huge hit with everyone who tries it.
Enjoy!
well I am not a baker…so most of my baking consists of going to the bakery and buying it. But I do like to make pancakes for the kids…
1 c flour
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 c milk
splash of vanilla.
Mix and cook. Quick and easy and the kids love it.
Enjoy!
Hi there!
My favourite recipe is a dessert, it is so delicious and the easiest thing to make!
No Bake CheeseCake!
You will need:
– graham crackers (I prefer to use an already made graham cracker pie crust)
– 1 stick of cream cheese
– half a tub of whipped cream
– your choice topping!
Just mix the cream cheese and whipped cream up with your mixer and pour into your pie crust.
Chill for 12 hours for best results, but not necessary.
You can put the toppings on now or when you serve. I prefer to put them on as I serve and have a choice of toppings!
I love this recipe because it is soooo easy to make, and everyone loves this recipe! You can also use light cream cheese and light whipped topping for a low-fat dessert! It feels so light in your stomach compared to New York Cheesecake!
This would be a recipe that makes 24 rich Chocolate Truffles, it’s quite easy to make and doesn’t take long.
This is what you need:
100g plain chocolate, broken into small pieces
15ml ( 1 tablespoon) liqueur, e.g. Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Tia Maria, etc.
225g icing sugar
100g unsalted butter
30ml (2 tablespoons) drinking chococlate
Melt the chocolate, remove from the heat and beat in the liqueur, icing sugar and butter until smooth. If necessary, add a little more icing sugar to give a firm paste. Divide into 24 pieces and shape into balls. Roll each one in the drinking chocolate until completely covered, then place in paper sweet cases.
Enjoy!
This is so easy and since nearly everyone loves chocolate, I never have any left to bring home.
Mix together:
2 small boxes INSTANT VANILLA PUDDING
3 Cups MILK
Fold in:
8 oz. COOL WHIP
Layer:
GRAHAM CRACKERS, pudding, graham crackers… until ingredients are used up. Make certain to end up with graham crackers on the top.
In the microwave, melt about 1/2 container of ANY TYPE CHOCOLATE READY TO USE FROSTING.
Cover top of cake with frosting. Refrigerate overnight. Enjoy!
Oops! I was so eager to share my recipe that I forgot to name it. It’s Chocolate Eclair Pie.
My quick and easy stand by recipe is “Western Breakfast” – a dish perfect for dinner too! Fry up some bacon and crumble. Remove bacon from pan and set aside. In same pan, cook up a big of hash browns. Put bacon back in the pan with the hashbrowns. Season as desired (I used seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Just salt and pepper is terrific too though!). In a bowl, whisk 5-6 eggs – add to potatoes and stir until eggs are scrambled & cooked. Serve hot with toast and good coffee! (Ketchup is a must for me too!). Enjoy!
Hi Lisa, I may be too late to submit my recipe, but here is my Mother’s quick and easy cornbread. It is great to round out stew, soup or chili on these cold days.
1 cup yellow self rising corn meal
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 beaten eggs
8 oz. sour cream
1 small can creamed corn
1/2 cup oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray bottom and sides of 8-9 inch iron skillet with Pam. Add a small amount of oil to skillet and heat the skillet on top of the stove or in the oven. Mix the above ingredients until blended and then pour into the hot skillet. Bake in oven until bread is golden on top and it tests done with a cake tester or toothpick. Invert on plate or cooling rack and cool slightly before serving. It takes about 10-25 minutes in the oven.
